NEW AQA 9-1 Chemistry Topic 5 energy changes - Energy transfer of reactions required practical

A double lesson/ series of lessons looking at the energy transfer in neutralisation required practical. The lesson looks at the method involved in the required practical and how this might be adapted for a range of different chemical reactions, along with how to estimate the point of neutralisation from a graph of results
Lesson features include:

• A starter consisting of 10 basic recall questions from previous learning with animated answers (properties of ionic compounds, isotopes, exothermic reactions, energy reaction profiles, history of the atom, ionic formula and conservation of mass )
• A slide recapping the idea of exothermic reactions and energy reaction profile in an engaging context using a ‘sherbet lemon’ model
• A series of slides prompting students to think about how to measure the energy transferred in a chemical reaction and the apparatus/ method used.
• Slides guiding students through the required practical method, variables for the experiment, a ready-made results table to populate and instructions on how to plot and extrapolate data from the graph to calculate the exact point of neutralisation
• A table with animated answers helping pupils to understand the range of chemical reactions the method could be used with and the variables that could be investigated for each
• A host of short review questions looking at applying the required practical method to a different chemical reaction, analysing data and suggesting improvements to the apparatus used in the required practical
• A worksheet containing exam-style questions. Answers are featured on the powerpoint to allow for assessment of pupil progress
• A review sheet with prompt images that could be used as a short recap of the method used in the required practical in subsequent lessons
